FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. --- The No. 11 Georgia gymnastics team (1-3, 1-2) fell at No. 10 Arkansas (1-3, 1-3) with a final score of 197.175-196.125 on Friday night in the Barnhill Arena.

Junior Sydney Snead earned the all-around title with an all-around career high score of 39.525. Snead also earned the event title on bars with a season-best 9.900 and posted her career high score on beam (9.925).
